An Italian restaurant and bakery has opened in downtown New Cumberland, part of the Cumberland County borough’s ongoing revitalization efforts.

The newcomer is Zanelli’s, which had been operating in Dover and as a vendor at Central Market in York. It has now moved operations to New Cumberland and opened at 316 Bridge St., a storefront that last housed Shugar’s Philly Deli.

Shugar’s abruptly closed around Christmas after about four years. The space was previously occupied for nearly 20 years by The Dingeldein Bakery.

Zanelli’s is serving up homemade pasta dishes, pizzas and Italian pastries, along with other items such as steak and seafood.

New tenants have been filling it back in. Recent newcomers include Lemoyne-based Dead Lightning Distillery, which opened a retail tasting room in March at 311 Bridge St. The distillery joined Funtastik, a skateboarding and snowboarding shop, that opened at 309 Bridge St.
